[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2500428, member: 493719"] An odd few days Having to REALLY learn to temper what I do physically. Far too easy day one, to feel so good and slightly exceed myself in the mistaken belief, I'm pushing myself , in a good way and then spend one or two days recovering. I think I said I bought a kick scooter (you know, the kids kind) Idea was to use to free me up, expand horizons, beyond just these four walls, until I heal enough to walk any thing beyond 50 paces. Worked too However, it's real purpose was to join Lauren & furry nephew on walk around our favourite gardens. Bottom line But off more then I could chew . yep failed miserably.. poor obs, let wishes overcome reality. Pathway all around park Tarmac surely ?, well it was in my head.:rolleyes: Nope.. some kind of pebble infused sand/concrete The scooter was fine, the 1bhp engine however, not so fine A hard push even on the flat, but add in any uphill gradient, and it was more trouble then it was worth :sorry: Though the hills down were..WEEEEeeee :D They were too few to mention Cue, me trudging behind pushing scooter, like some brat hanging back because they didn't get the ice cream they wanted. Even had Lauren , take scooter off me so I could concentrate on walking :arghh: ( gawd bless her...why does her feeling sorry for me, sadden me so much :bag:) Ego bruised, lesson learned Upside is, nephews wife kindly lent me e-scooter. Unsure if I'd use or like..mmhh. Seems I can.:) Seems I do :D Just have to overcome the illegal aspect of it, and trust in the scooter massive, cloaking me from the long arm of the law May have to get a tattoo and a cut off leather, if I'm going to pull this one off . Going with "Sons of Agony" for the top rocker on back :D;) It's quite a heavy e-scooter, as most are I suspect So in my current state, it's Lift Step one Lift Step two..etc etc To bring back in to house Yesterday, doing my step dance, Plagued by bumble bee that rather annoyingly, buzzed me every step of the way ..ggrr. A rest day today featuring. Pacing & patience. My new watchwords :rolleyes::sorry: Off to make that tea I promised myself an hour ago :) [/QUOTE]
